🧠General & Mental Health
▲GENERAL
Argentum Nitricum has previously b een used in treating epilepsyNeurological disorder causing seizuresA neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of sensory disturbance, loss of consciousness, or convulsions..
It
relieves epileptic fits but causes itching of the skin.
Traditionally, it
has been used in eye diseases.
People who wear silver jewellery may develop symptoms of silver
poisoning.
Similarly, prolonged allopa thic use of silver can have a
negative effect on mental faculties.
When the mind becomes slow
and creative skills decline, Argentum Nitricum must be kept in mind.
The memory is weak , and reasoning is flawed.
Superstitions, visual
hallucinations and delusions prevail.
The patient is afra id of visiting
some particular places.
Such child ren should be accompanied to such
spots and told that there is nothing to be afraid of Argentum Nitricum
is not only capable of curing these symptoms, but is also effective
against some other deep-seated illnesses.
The Argentum Nitricum
patient is afraid of heights lest he may leap off.
Argentum Nitricum
patients are afraid of even looking up at a very tall building or a
building with a high ceiling, in case it may fall on them.
Most
homoeopaths have not stressed these symptoms: they have only
mentioned fear of heights and ep ileptic fit.
However, when I
personally analysed the symptoms of my patients after closely
observing them, the above mentioned symptoms became clearly
evident.
Such a patient is afraid of jumping into the river while
crossing a bridge.
In advanced illne ss, there is a strong desire to jump
from the bridge.
Such patient trembles with fear and also feels weak.
Some people have loose motions prior to an exam or an important
interview.
Some may feel agitated and angry.
Extraordinary mental fatigue and gastric hyperacidity adversely
affect the memory .
Transient loss of recent memory can also occur
as a result of narrowing of the arte ries going to th e brain (due to
arterial thickening or just because of spasms of the artery).
If the
tendency to spasm is frequent, the patient loses his memory
permanently.
This is not related to transient stomach upset or mental
fatigue.
Argentum Nitricum also shows these signs, however, loss of
memory appears as a permanent sign.
Alumina is also useful in this
disease; but has to be used for a long period.
In
Cuprum, the cyanosisBluish discoloration of the skinA bluish or purplish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes due to low oxygen levels in the blood. is due to the spasm of the blood vessels.
In
Carbo Animalis it is due to lack of oxygen and disorder of the blood.
The blueness of Argentum Nitricum resembles that of Carbo
Animalis.
In both these remedies , blueness appears all over the body
as if somebody has been suffocated.
In Cuprum, there may be violent
spasms of the hands and feet, along with cyanosis of the face and the
lips.
In Argentum Nitricum, there is a tendency to form sores.
In
allopathy, silver nitrate was us ed in many eye conditions.
In
homoeopathy also, silver nitrate in a well-diluted form can benefit
many eye conditions, especially co rneal ulcers.
The eyes are
hypersensitive to light.
The eyes ache and feel tired.
Argentum
Nitricum is good in persistently sore eyes with purulent discharge.
The eyelids are swollen.
Their inner linings are inflamed and form red
circles.
This condition (which is called purulent C onjunctivitis) is
very common in the Indo-Pak sub-continent during summer.
Argentum Nitricum is very useful in diseases of the women , like
abdominal discomfort and discharging sores at the mouth of the uterus
before the onset of periods.
The periods become frequent, but are
scanty.
If other symptoms of Argentum Nitricum are also present, this
remedy can cure other internal diseases of uterus as well.
The wounds tend to bleed.
There is a tendency of vomiting containing
blood.
Argentum Nitricum may be used in chronic resistant ulcers of
the stomach.
The peptic ulcerOpen painful sore on skin or mucous membraneAn open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane. of the stomach can be treated with
ground liquorice.
Unripe banana, dried and powdered, taken two to
three times a day, is also very useful in such ulcers.
The powder coats
the ulcer, as well as inducing healing.
This treatment has been
described in a scientific magazine and I have often used it very
successfully.
Argentum Nitricum patients with chronic ulcers tend to have anaemia.
They crave sweets.
This craving for sweets is also found in other
homoeopathic remedies.
Some peopl e can eat a lot of sweets but this
does not bother them, whereas in a patient of Argentum Nitricum,
sweets do not suit him: on ingestion, the stomach becomes upset and
other symptoms also aggravate.
In an Argentum Nitricum patient, the
desire to eat sweets, if associ ated with wind and abdominal
distension, is very typical.
Like in Thuja, there is
tendency to develop warts.
Blisters form in the throat.
The throat
feels as if something is stuck in it, like Hepar Sulph, but any attempt
to cough it out makes the sensation wo rse.
In fact, there is nothing
inside the throat; it is just a feeling and it is typical in Nitric Acid also.
The person feels as if something is poking him on his body.
If
touched by hand anywhere on the body, the person feels pain.
In case of Argentum Nitricum, the symptoms of lactating mothers are
exhibited in their children.
If th e mother eats too many sweets, the
child develops diarrhoea.
In case of Argentum Nitricum, the
vomiting and diarrhoea start concurrently .
The stools are green.
The ingested food passes out of the system quickly.
Such children are
generally dehydrated and marasmic.
However, the marasmusSevere malnutrition causing wastingSevere undernourishment causing an infant's or child's weight to be significantly low for their age, leading to muscle wasting. of the
children may not always be the resu lt of suckling Argentum Nitricum
mothers.
They can be patients of Argentum Nitricum per se.
The
stools are green; vomiting and diarrhoea can alternate or be present at
the same time.
With the stools, the child passes a lot of mucus.
In Argentum Nitricum there is pain in the deep organs of the body.
The liver, spleen or stomach may hur t.
The discomfort may not be
felt spread throughout the abdomen.
In Argentum Nitricum, one may i nvoluntarily pass urine.
Children
may wet their beds at night.
Another sign is that one may have the
desire to urinate, but is unable to pass urine easily.
There may be
pain, swelling or itching in the urethra.
This is also one of the best
remedies for gonorrhoea.
Argentum Nitricum is very useful in many problems associated with
pregnancy.
The patient feels a weakness of the heart which worsens
due to the additional load of pregnancy.
The feeling of weakness of
the heart by physical exertion or mental anguish continues throughout
the pregnancy.
The patient may have nightmares.
In the morning, as the person gets up, the legs feel as if they have been
beaten.
Walking is uncomfortable.
The legs feel weak and the upper
arms feel numb.
The back hurts and the backbone area is very
sensitive.
The backache is worse at night.

and tightness at the tissues surr ounding the backbone.
The symptoms
aggravate in the heat and after food.

the symptoms.

very high potencyStrength level of a remedyThe dilution and succussion scale of a remedy (e.g., 6C, 30C, 200C, 1M), indicating its energetic concentration. should be given.
